I'd like to make a patch that would "read" a long text file sequentially, character-by-character, with each character triggering a corresponding numerical value. I'm essentially looking to build a text-driven MIDI sequencer.

reading-very-long-texts-sequentially-with-max

My instinct is to convert the text to 'list' format, with each character separated by a semicolon, and use coll. But as the text is very long the conversion would have to be automated, somehow... Any help here much appreciated.

Have you looked at [text] and [spell]? Here's a couple of ideas.
